This is Bob again. thank you for the feedback. it is so nice to have a place to go where people understand what someone is going through.It is also encouraging to see how we all can and will get better with time.I have put all of you on my prayer list.Yes I do realize how lucky I am to have a 1 in a million mother.That is my main reason for surgery as she has told me she plans on being around a long time and needs me to take care of her.Thank you all again for encouraging words.I honestly can say everyday is an improvement.Hope all who goes through this well and continued healing.
